A method (70) and system (11) of determining a destination can include
obtaining (72) at least one identifier among a phone number, a dispatch
identifier, a mobile internet protocol address, an instant messaging user
identifier, an e-mail address, or other identifier having mobility
management information, mapping (74) the at least one identifier to an
approximate physical location, and selectively retrieving (76) the
approximate physical location corresponding to the at least one
identifier. For example, mapping can be done by mapping the phone number
to a physical address provided by white pages or yellow pages from
on-line phonebooks or by mapping to location services (such as GPS or
network based locating services) available at a cellular phone, dispatch
radio, or wireless internet protocol device. Mapping can include mapping
at least one among the IM user identifier or the e-mail address to a
PSTN, a dispatch identifier or an internet protocol address.
